iPhone 5

Apple CEO Tim Cook is expected to announce the launch of new products this fall.

Date: Expected Sept. 21

In an annual, end-of-summer rite, it's once again time for Apple(AAPL) die-hards to swap out their old iPhones. The iPhone 5 -- or whatever the next iPhone will be called -- is widely expected to be unveiled Sept. 12, landing in stores just nine days later.

The rumormill suspects that the next iPhone will be thinner, faster and come with a larger screen.
